Commercial Description:
IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India dark a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops, the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is a triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

12 oz. bottle at Beer Bistro. The color is amber with a light beige head. The aroma and taste is very hoppy. Also in the taste is some citrus fruits and some sweetness. The finish is the perfect bitter finish of a great I.P.A.

Bottle. A little fresher this the current picture here. Pours a nice golden color with a medium white head. Really nice grapefruit smell. Flavors are grapefruit and pine. Really fresh and crisp. Clean refreshing mouth.

12 oz bottle pours medium golden color with an off white creamy head that laces nicely. Citrus and herbal hop aroma. Somewhat floral as well. Nice bitterness but not overwhelming with some smokiness and burnt sugar flavor. Not unbalanced, but not a fantastic IPA. I am just more partial to their big beer lines. It seems like more time and energy is put into getting these beers right.

Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a small off white head and a clear orange body. Good lacing. Aroma is citrus (orange) hops, and some caramel malt and a bit of honey. Taste is citrus hops and toffee. Lively carbonation and a water like mouthfeel.

Bottle. Aroma grassy, citrus, mango hops. flavor increasingly mango, tropical, some grassiness lingering. Very little malt to speak of, yet the hops are still allowed to shine without becoming abrasive. Still, just a little weird without any noticeable malt presence.

A house beer locker bottle. Frothy, off white head with good lacing which remains, while the head diminishes to a small ring. Clear, amber/orange hue. Malty sweetness, citrus, a touch of spruce & herbs permeate the aroma. Flavor is citrus, herbs, & strong hop bitterness that lasts throughout. Good example of the style.

(Bottle). Sweet perfumy citrus aroma. Cloudy reddish amber body, large fluffy off-white head. Flavor is aggressively hopped, mainly tangerine, with a significantly bitter finish. Bracingly refreshing, if not particularly well balanced.

Gold color and an impressive, rocky head that lasts a long time. Well carbonated. Citrus hops are immediately apparent without even getting close to the glass. Lots of bread and crackers in the flavor with only moderate hops, but good nonetheless. I expected a more bitter, more powerful IPA.
